Temer would be doing Brazil and himself a favor if he decided to resign.
Before betraying President Dilma Rousseff, Michel Temer was convinced by the economic and media groups that orchestrated the coup that he could "save Brazil"; almost seven months later, everything went wrong: the economy has collapsed, and Temer has also proven incapable, so far, of granting amnesty for undeclared campaign contributions, which would have stemmed the bleeding of the Lava Jato corruption scandal and saved the parliamentarians who supported this process; Temer, therefore, has nothing left to gain; besides the image of a usurper, if he does not resign, he will be leading the country during the period of greatest economic and social degradation in history; therefore, one of the solutions is to follow Ciro Gomes' advice and "pull the saddle," allowing Brazil to regain democracy – especially since the groups that put him in power are already orchestrating his removal.
247 - Michel Temer got himself into a mess. He believed the story told by media groups that orchestrated the coup against Brazilian democracy and began to see himself as a figure capable of "pacifying Brazil," "restoring confidence," and "saving the country."
As we know, everything went wrong. Brazil is at war, as seen in the streets of Rio de Janeiro and in the demonstrations against PEC 55, and the economy has sunk even further. In addition to the 3,5% drop in GDP in 2016, 2017 will also be a lost year, in which the number of unemployed could reach 15 million.
In other words, Temer has absolutely nothing to gain from the presidency. He, who previously said he wanted to be remembered as someone who "saved Brazil," will be remembered by Brazilians as a coup-plotting, usurping president who, in addition to breaking the economy, destroyed the welfare state by abolishing social security.
For the PSDB party, that was precisely their role: to do the "dirty work," building the bridge to the future, and then paving the way for a new cycle of PSDB rule.
What no one imagined was that the results would be so bad, leading the coup plotters to already be working on replacing Temer in 2017 – one of the names mentioned is that of former president Fernando Henrique Cardoso, who refers to Temer, in a pejorative way, calling him a "bridge" (a derogatory term implying a makeshift bridge).
Temer, therefore, can choose between resignation or a humiliating removal from office. In an interview with 247, Ciro Gomes stated that he could "pull the saddle" – that is, resign.
It would be a favor to Brazil, which could then begin to think about rebuilding its democracy, and to Temer himself – who has nothing left to gain from the presidency.
